The AlgoRhythm Solo™ DAC – Audiophile Heaven:

Wolfson Microelectronics™ makes many DAC’s, including those incorporated into many earlier Apple devices, so what’s new? The AlgoRhythm Solo™ uses a premium Wolfson Microelectronics™ Reference grade DAC, far and away a superior digital engine. Check out the specs and then listen to the beauty.

Frequency Response (20 Hz / 20 kHz) 0dB/-.4dB
Noise Floor (DC -> 30 kHz) 28 uV
S/N Ratio (DC -> 30 kHz) 98 dB
THD+N (1 kHz FS 44.1 kS/s) .002%


While the DAC chip inside the Solo is capable of processing 24/96 bit-rate, the Apple device DAP platform as a whole is currently limited to 16/44.1 or 16/48KHz sampled content. That is still CD quality and that is what the AlgoRhythm Solo™ delivers, finally!

The asynchronous transfer mode allows the AlgoRhythm Solo™ to overcome the limitations and artifacts associated with sync transfer mode through USB, such as lots of jitter, but the DAP firmware supports native decoding of 24/96 for decryption by the 24/96 DAC chip inside the AlgoRhythm Solo™.

This is what we are waiting for, OMG....we can do DAC out from ipod already

Guys, it is arrived, and i personally think that.....I am so so so excited now......

Some people might not understand what is this product, just give a introduction how to use this baby.

This is a DAC out devices, why it is good? We have seen a lot of people using line out dock for their ipod, Line out dock is a internal amplification bypass features for apple based products, it used the PCB board bypass the internal amplifications so we can connect to external amplifier, this make us worry free for double amplifications, or even double colorations. Where we shall see a lot of Ipod modifications, that is to do a physical internal amplifications bypass, instead of PCB bypass, we do our own cabling to bypass the internal amp. Surprisingly, it make even better than PCB bypass, that is why the Imod,Gmod or Pmod are so popular in Malaysia.

Ok, what this baby(Solo) do? it did a PCB bypass of Internal DAC/Ampification of Apple based product, why this brand can do? They bought the license from Apple to do such actions, and there is none of any modifications can do this by any DIYer, Coz you will need to pay Apple million of cash for such license, like what Cypher did.

Backed to old days, i used to carryed a Iriver H120 > digital out to > Ibasso D1, it was truly a brick, it is so huge tat i still bring it around, coz it give me so musical sound. I always dream of doing so at Ipod, Coz no one will deny that Ipod interface are what we love. And yes, my dream come truth, i have got this portable, and i have got a very good portable digital transport, and it is not only a transport, it is a DAC as well......meaning i can plug it to my favorite amp, or even direct to my active speaker.

Backed to the topics, how good is this ? This shall be what people concerned. First, when you get your Ipod digital out, i got what i never get it ipod, yes, i got the "Soundstage" from ipod. This is really unbelievable, i have used ipod for so so long, i never think that i can get anything like this, the sound are open, it remind me the feelings of connecting a Good DAC to computer, A dacport or pico level dac, the sound of ipod become so full, if any of you tried hifiman before, yes, you can just feel that, you get the frequency full. not as empty like what the ipod sound.

Beside rounded music, soundstage, the third thing that i noticed are, i got my kick backed, yes, i can feel the kick, how's the kick? It is not bomb, i have quite long never listen to Avril Lavigne, why? their music are mastered to be a very messy way, their bassy are just so so noisy, maybe from my personal taste, it is a little bit too over, or, up to my knowledge, maybe there are just too many guitar or bassy? However, when i am on this DAC, i found something different, the drum are there, yes, i feel the drum, i never notice there is a drum, not loud, but tight enough? i plug it back with non digital out (Line out to amp), no it is gone again. Now the songs are something that i willing to re-listen again. It give the music different life. without my knowledge, i m in next songs and i am really enjoying now.

As a seller, i shall be stop here, i do not wan to be deemed as i am promoting, this is just so good, i wish i can share this to everyone, out of the seller point, i am starting to enjoying some music that i dont listen last time. It make the feels very very different, or maybe, i am just too addicted into ipod sounds, and make me less enjoy some good music, unless the recording are so so good, then only i can enjoy it. I'been wrong, it is actually sources problem , i always thought that is music productions problem, but now i know, this is really not the case, a good sources will really lead you to a new music journey.

Sorry but forgot to mentioned,
Itouch 2 gen > Digital Out > Cypher Labs Solo > Silver IC > Govibe PPK > ACS T1...

Thanks for reading.

Added, i will be testing the DAC out features only when i visit Pcwork and i will be testing at this speaker setup. So, review to be added, or maybe by him, let see

Nono, it dont, if you see the message, simply remove and plug in the dock again. it solved. It have its own internal battery?
